Adam Banks Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Skuda's post http://www.orbxsyste...gb/#entry506141 reminded me that I've always been amazed by the coastal area around NZAA. So here's my personal tribute and huge thank-you to whoever was responsible for this particular piece of ORBX NZNI - it is so very typical of many areas around NZ - and so beautifully rendered. I'm reminded of Slartiblartfast (Hitch Hikers' Guide to the Galaxy) being so proud of his fjords. Is anyone going to put their hand up and say "NZAA mud? YES! I did that bit!!!" - or will it always remain collectively anonymous? Thanks all the same! Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric C Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Great shots Adam, and I believe Edward Boyte designed this area, but you'll have to ask him. Looks incredible indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Hill Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hi Adam, Eddy Boyte did NZAA, and I believe Holger probably did the mud flats. Eddy and I split the main NZNI airports between us but he definitely did NZAA. Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Goff Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I'm guilty I did all of the photoreal around NZNI, it was a long adventure but a blast! The mudflats around NZAA took quite a bit of time to flesh out but I am very happy to see the result is well received Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by your sig, it looks like you may have never seen these mudflats "in the flesh" - but they really are spot on - so uniquely NZ/Manukau. Anyone who's flown in or out of NZAA will recognise them and enjoy them. It's all very well doing the obvious landmarks, but sometimes these [not so little] details really "make" an area. Pat yourself on the back! Adam. Some of your best work ....so far ...young Adam Not me ... 't'was young Alex! And ... you obviously haven't seen my avatar :lol: Welcome back, BTW!

Daddy Bear Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 These shots a superb. I only have NZSI, I am hoping to get NZNI next month. Is this what I have to look forward to? Superb. Cheers Phil F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Banks Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 These shots a superb. I only have NZSI, I am hoping to get NZNI next month. Is this what I have to look forward to? NZNI is nowhere near as spectacular as NZSI (just as it is in RL) yet, for all that, it still has a very definite NZ "flavour". I've made a few trips around NZNI in RL, and I really think ORBX has nailed it. Even without additional [ORBX] airports, the re-worked NI ones are a huge improvement on FSX default - and compare well with Robin Corn's RealNZ versions (good as they are - but a couple were originally for FS9). I do have some good "home-grown" add-ons - but they dovetail with NZNI happily. The best part of it for me (being NZ-based) is that I can fly the length and breadth of NZ and be totally covered by ORBX scenery. As there's such a marvellous diversity of landscape, I hardly ever venture outside NZ. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
